Man Utd may have identified long-term Andre Onana replacement. A teenage goalkeeper has risen through the ranks has sparked fresh hope at Old Trafford.
Elyh Harrison Follows Dean Henderson’s Path
Manchester United’s young keeper Elyh Harrison could be in line to be in goal for the Red Devils.
The player has taken a big step in his career by joining Shrewsbury Town on loan. He is following a path once walked by Dean Henderson. Harrison came through Stevenage’s academy before moving to Utd in 2022. He impressed during his loan spell at Chester. There he kept seven clean sheets in 18 games.
His consistent form led United to recall him in January. Boss Ruben Amorim has included him in the first-team matchday squad eight times. Now, a loan to League One gives him the platform to gain real EFL experience. This is just like Henderson, who went through multiple loan spells before eventually shining at Crystal Palace.
United’s goalkeeping unit has been a worry since David de Gea’s exit. While Andre Onana arrived with big expectations, his performances haven’t matched the hype. The club is reportedly working to bring Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez. They are showing interest in Belgian keeper Senne Lammens as well. It’s clear that the search for a new No.1 is active.
New Goalkeeper Rising Up for Man Utd
Elyh Harrison might not be a household name yet, but within the club, there’s growing belief in his potential. Director of Football at Shrewsbury, Micky Moore, praised the England U-20 player’s attitude and skill. He noted that the club has been tracking his development closely.
Ruben Amorim is facing doubts around Onana’s form and fitness. He is said to be open to bringing in a new long-term goalkeeper. The Red Devils seem to be focusing on homegrown talent once again.
Harrison has the chance to show his strong run at Shrewsbury. Then, he could be wearing the No.1 shirt at Old Trafford sooner than expected.
